Meghan Markle style: The Duchess of Sussex's best looks in pictures.

Prince Harry is protective of his wife. When their relationship came to light he issued a plea to the media to leave the former-actress alone.

Emily Andrews told The Sun a palace courtier told her: “It’s my opinion that Harry feels he couldn’t protect his mother, so he’s going all out to protect his wife. This is his way of atoning.”

Princess Diana was famously hounded by the press throughout her time in the limelight and tragically died in a car accident in Paris in 1997 when her sons William and Harry were just 15 and 12, respectively.

The royal source added: “He will brook absolutely no criticism of Meghan — and he is so sensitive he often sees criticism or negativity where there isn’t any.”
